His work has become widely known in the fashion community as a successful applicant of the Japanese punk and gothic styles which have existed for many years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
H.Naoto’s work has reached some international acclaim in recent years as he has worked with singers such as Amy Lee of Evanescence, designing her dress for the [[2004]] Grammy Awards. Other musicians he has worked with include the bands Psycho le Cemu, Ayabie, and S.K.I.N. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Design==&lt;br /&gt;

Considered one of the more successful labels in using these styles, h.NAOTO has been highly successful in bridgin the gap between the small market in Japan and a growing international market with a wide array of new designs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The style used by h.NAOTO is often referred to as Goth-Loli and has been prolific in a few key designs in Japan since the mid-1990s, a result of visual-kei bands and various manga influences.
